Men like Oresco are taking the Honor Flight every day to visit the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. But the Obama administration has closed all war memorials due to the budget debate.
In all previous similar government shutdowns, these open memorials have never been shut down.
Then again, there has never been an administration as callous, partisan, and just plain dictator-like as the Obama "regime"....
